CSI Chief People Officer Roxanne Martinez Named ALX100 Honoree

By: via Business Wire

Recognition highlights Latino leaders making meaningful impact across Massachusetts

CSI, a leading provider of end-to-end financial software and technology, today announced that chief people officer Roxanne Martinez has been named one of the ALX100 honorees by We Are ALX. The prestigious recognition celebrates 100 Latino leaders across Massachusetts who make a meaningful impact in their respective fields and communities.

Since joining CSI in December 2023, Martinez has led initiatives that have strengthened the company's culture and employee experience. Her accomplishments include revamping talent acquisition, implementing workplace flexibility programs, rolling out modernized benefits including flexible time off and expanded medical plans and launching CSI's competency model for professional development. Under her leadership, employee engagement metrics have improved across nearly every dimension.

"This recognition could not be more deserved," said Nancy Langer, CEO of CSI. "In less than two years at CSI, Roxanne has driven impactful transformation, even as we've integrated multiple acquisitions including Velocity Solutions and Hawthorn River. Behind the scenes, she is a tireless advocate for all of our employees and has consistently championed making CSI the best possible place to work through periods of significant growth."

Martinez brings more than 25 years of experience transforming organizations through challenging moments, including more than 13 years in executive HR leadership roles at companies like Liberty Mutual Insurance. Her expertise in private equity-backed company talent transformations has been instrumental in guiding CSI through its evolution.

"I'm honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible Latino leaders who are making a difference across Massachusetts," said Martinez. "This recognition reflects not just my individual journey, but the collective commitment at CSI to creating an enriching, rewarding and inclusive work environment where our people can learn, develop and grow their careers while being inspired and empowered by capable leaders."

Martinez's impact extends beyond CSI through her board service with the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA) and The Women's Edge as well as other nonprofit organizations. She has been recognized multiple times as one of the “50 Most Powerful Latinas in the U.S.” by the ALPFA and is a member of its Hall of Fame. She holds a bachelor's degree in politics from Brandeis University and a law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

ALX launched in 2017 as a non-partisan, collaborative nonprofit with the mission of advancing Latino American prosperity and leadership representation in Massachusetts. The organization builds networks, champions equitable policies, offers business programs and shapes positive narratives of Latino Americans while elevating emerging leaders.

Martinez will be celebrated alongside fellow honorees in The Boston Globe Magazine and at the annual ALX100 event during Hispanic Heritage Month. The ALX100 list was featured in the Sept. 14 edition of the Globe Magazine, with the celebration event scheduled for Oct. 17.
